Radensko polje

Radensko Polje (or Radensko field in English) is a typical intermittent or seasonal Karst Polje (a field which due to underground streams becomes a lake in certain seasons). It is a truly beautiful area, ecologically diverse and biogenetically accordant, providing a great natural environment for many rare and protected species of plants and animals. Because of its typical Karst features (underground streams, sink holes and gorges) it reminds one strongly of the famous intermittent Cerknica Lake. In the middle of the Radensko field is a 68 metres tall hummock Kopanj, the most beautiful example of a Karst hum (a small hill typical of Karst regions) in Slovenia. Radensko Polje is 4km long and 1 km wide. It is surrounded by steep woody slopes reaching as high as 300 metres. It is located south of Grosuplje by the main road leading from Grosuplje to Račna and Videm Dobrepolje.
